Art Jones: Jefferson Award Winner and Advocate for Domestic Violence Victims
On April 5, 2018, Arthur Jones, former Toledo city councilman, was recognized for his public service when he received a Jefferson Award. His public service covers a range of activities, noted the panel, including youth, church and minority business service. His dedication and work to raise awareness of the problem of domestic violence and his advocacy for its prevention was the most significant aspect of what he has accomplished over the years. For Jones, the award was the culmination of 25 years of combating the problem – since his daughter fell victim to an act of domestic violence in 1993. >
